Ishpan Arts Empoream

Our shop, Ishpan Arts Empoream, is located over in Baghwanpora Lalbazar. We are right near the Imam Bada, so it is a landmark most people know. It’s a bit of a quiet spot until the afternoon when things pick up. We have all sorts of local arts and crafts stuffed into the shelves. It’s a bit crowded in here, to be honest. We aren't a big, polished showroom with bright lights. It’s more of a place where you have to look around to find what you want. We spend a lot of our day just moving things around and talking to the people who wander in. Sometimes we sit out front and watch the traffic go by. The floor is old and the walls could probably use a bit of paint, but it feels like home to us. We’ve been in Lalbazar for many years now. Most of our visitors are neighbors or people who heard about us from a friend. We don't have a fancy system for tracking things. We mostly just remember where we put stuff. It’s a simple way to run a business, but it works for us. If you’re ever near the Imam Bada, you might see our sign. We just keep the doors open and see who comes in to look at the art pieces we have.
